Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain
2 Important Safety Information
network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.
Medical Devices
If you have a medical device, including an implantable medical device such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, consult your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer’s directions before using this mobile phone.
Persons with implantable medical devices:
●Should always keep the mobile phone more than six (6 inches) from the implantable medical device when the mobile phone is turned ON.
Important Safety Information 3
●Should not carry the mobile phone in the breast pocket.
●Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for interference.
●Should turn OFF the mobile phone immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Using Your Phone Near Other
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
4 Important Safety Information
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous
Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remotecontrol RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:
●Fueling areas such as gas stations.
●Below deck on boats.
●Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
●Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Important Safety Information 5
●Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Note: Your phone complies with the Standards for Hazardous Location Equipment. Refer to the following section ‘Using Your Phone in Hazardous Locations’ for details.

Important Safety Information 7
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your Wireless invoice.
Waterproof Capability
Your Brigadier is waterproof and meets IPX5, protection against sprayed water and IPX8 standards, submersible for up to 30 minutes at a depth not exceeding 1.8 meters (about 5.91 feet). Exposing your phone to water outside these limits or not following the precautions can result in water damage.
To ensure that your phone maintains waterproof capability, the following precautions must be observed.
●Make sure the charger/data port, audio jack and card slot covers are properly sealed, with no foreign objects obstructing the seals.
●Do not spray or immerse your phone in liquids other than fresh water or tap water.
●Do not expose your phone to water heated in excess of 104° F (40° C), or to liquids other than water, such as detergent, beverages, or chlorinated or treated water. Should your phone
8 Important Safety Information
be accidentally exposed to other liquids, rinse the phone gently in clean fresh water.
●Your phone is inoperable under water and should be dried as quickly as possible when wet.
●Do not use the charger/data port for charging, data transmission, etc. until the phone is completely dry.
If your phone gets wet:
Water lodged in the audio jack may cause the phone to falsely detect an inserted headset (in which case the loudspeaker and/or earpiece audio will be disabled) until the water is removed. Water in the microphone ports may affect outbound audio quality. These are temporary conditions and will subside once the phone is dry.
1.Wipe the phone surfaces with a dry clean cloth.
2.Water in the phone’s open ports may affect sound quality and should be removed with puffs of air directly into the ports. Phone audio may not operate properly until ports are dry. Apply a dry clean cloth to the open areas and crevices to remove the moisture left on the phone: microphones; speakers; and all physical keys.
3.Repeat the process until the phone is completely dry.
Important Safety Information 9
Charging
●Dry your phone with a clean cloth before charging.
●Do not touch the charger, charging cable, or charger/data port with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shock, injury, or product failure.
●Do not charge your phone in a wet or damp place, such as in a bathroom or near a kitchen sink.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing
Aid Device
When some wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate.
ANSI standard C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability rating categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated have a label located on the box. Your Brigadier has an M3 and a T3 rating.
